OK I went out to the Gun club after hunting Tree Rats
I needed to zero a new scope on the 25 Savage 25 Hornet
Well there was a couple of guys getting ready for deer season
Shooting 5 factory slugs to check if they could hit anything
But the guy next to me was blasting away with a AR15 in 223
While we waited to go down range to change targets , we talked
He was complaining about the price of ammo
Long story short a Palmetto State Armory 16" complete upper in 300 Blackout ended up going home with me
He claimed to have only shot 10 boxes of factory ammo out of it , he gave me the brass
But for what I , I can clean it and Smile [smilie=l:
My question , how do the 1/8 twist barrels do with lite weight cast bullets ?
As I am thinking of adding a adjustable gas block
So I can shoot it without chasing brass as I plan on adding a suppressor
But for grins would a 100 gr or so cast bullet stabilize at subsonic speed ?
As I would think it would be fun stalking squirrel with the rifle
No I don't need another squirrel rifle
But why pass up another chance to work up loads and use them
Thanks
John
